Friday Ephemera
South Korea’s charming and subtle penis restaurant. // Pocket picnic blanket. // An Alien production scrapbook. // “Austerity” and “spending cuts.” // Spot the cuttlefish. // Cars with propellers. // Standing stones. // “The sexiest baritone hunks from opera.” Your mileage may vary. // Tree tents. // “One and you lose your reason; two and you’re on your knees.” // The smartphone case you’ve always wanted. // Why parents rarely want their children to be artists, part 9. // Death metal construction worker. // Making scissors. // Mechanical elephants and other projects. // Small magnet with big oomph. // Clay food miniatures. // Tiny burritos. (h/t, Ian Fleming) // Paper microbes. // And finally, we must de-beef the machine.
Cars with propellers on the front or the rear, depending on whether you hate pedestrians or tailgators?
I really don’t blame you for the Penis Restaurant link. East Asia? Genitalia? Food? Sure, why the hell not? My own damn fault.
Some light music from 2012 to start the weekend;

I notice that the past keeps getting richer and more weird – is someone still making DLCs for 2012? Wake up people, 2015 should be out in the market in just half a year!
Still, assuming funding, 2015 could also be fun…

I’ve often felt that a giant car-juggling robot was the way to go.
Because then they’d pay. Then they’d all pay.
“One and you lose your reason; two and you’re on your knees.”
Great track (and album).

Why parents rarely want their children to be artists, part 9.
Wouldn’t it be even edgier to put the ‘artist’ in there with them and then weld the door shut?

No, you mustn’t mock. It’s a “cutting-edge contemporary work.” You see, passers-by will be “invited to observe the resulting vibrations.” Because watching a soundproof box that may or may not vibrate very, very slightly is “enhancing our urban environment.”
You must be one of those haters of culture we hear so much about.
Where would we be without such colossal artistic expressions?
You know, sometimes I wish the Daleks really would invade London.
“Hello, I’m a performance artist, give me money.”
EXTERMINATE!
And the Doctor would be like:

Death metal construction worker.
A shocking disregard for health and safety. 🙂
The death metal construction guys were mostly doing demolition, a lot easier task when gyrating like that than actual construction.
Looks like a 1950s pinup, bakes like Tim Burton.
Rafi: Exactly.
Twirling long hair around power equipment. What could possibly go wrong?
And don’t even get me started on the lack of safety glasses.

Nonsense, his hair will deflect any flying debris. It’s basic science.
can you buy those scissors on the internet?
“synthetic polio”??
As if the real stuff isn’t bad news enough …

Missing a trick here, I think. Issue passersby with sledgehammers and encourage them to make the box vibrate more.
newrouter,
can you buy those scissors on the internet?
Yes, direct from the manufacturer.
Those are quite lovely, as hand-made tools usually are. I wonder if they ship to the US…
